Painting Energy will highlight a transformative series of gifts from the Alex Katz Foundation to the Portland Museum of Art over the last decade. Since 2011, the Foundation has gifted works by modern and contemporary artists to the PMA to form a collection that now numbers over 150 works, many of which are already on display in the galleries. This collection includes artists with strong ties to the state of Maine, leading figures in American modernism, emerging artists, and major figures in the global contemporary art sphere. The collection also articulates a specific vision in the trajectory of modern and contemporary painting, one developed by Alex Katz, a leading painter of our time. Reception and the opportunity to view the exhibition before the public opening.
